Primary 5 have enjoyed another great week! 🙂
In maths the Fantastic Fractions have been learning how to calculate the volume of a cuboid. The Excellent Equations have been revising how to simplify fractions and calculate equivalent fractions and will be moving on to something new and exciting next week. The Super Subtractions have been calculating the area and perimeter of different shapes. Next week, the Super Subtractions will be learning about direction and movement.
In language, we have been finishing off and re-drafting our imaginative stories. We have been challenging ourselves to up level our work as we redraft it to make it even better! We have also been illustrating our stories. We look forward to sharing them with you soon! 🙂

We look forward to starting a new book next week.
In Social Studies, we have continued learning about the Scottish Wars of Independence. We learned about William Wallace and the Battle of Stirling Bridge and created our own story boards to show what happened during this battle. We also created our own Coats of Arms where different animals and colours represent different traits E.g. lionàbravery, unicornà extreme courage, purpleàjustice, yellow/goldà generosity. We will share some pictures of our Coats of Arms next week 🙂

The Super Subtractions finished their work on Data Handling. They have been busy collecting data via surveys and using this information to make graphs which they have found fun!
On Thursday afternoon, we were lucky enough to have a ‘Power from the People’ workshop with Generation Science. This workshop taught us all about electricity and how we can use movement to generate electricity. We played lots of fun games and were able to conduct experiments of our own. At the end, we used movement to produce electricity so that we could charge our Hex Bugs. We then had a big race with all the Hex Bugs, it was so much fun!
